He complains about the reseller and their incompetence, but (incompetence aside) this is basically what he's looking for?
I know it's one of those things that tends to change over time, particularly if your account rep changes, but wouldn't simply finding a reseller that doesn't suck be the answer here? Perhaps one that lets you automate quotes and purchases...
- alangibson 6y agoNope. Resellers are very hands on and high touch. I'm talking about something more like a pass-through payment processor than a reseller. Quotes in this case are as trivial as a PDF generator that just inserts the fixed price into a commercial offer template. As it stands, you wouldn't believe how hard it is to pry something like that out of a typical SaaS vendor.

- Fission 6y agoI'm a maker of satchel.com. This is one of the core problems we aimed to tackle. In doing so, we've actually build out _exactly_ this. There are still some crucial obstacles to ensure robustness, but I'd love to get your feedback nonetheless. Could I ask some questions over email? I can't find yours, but I'm at andrew@satchel.com
- alangibson 6y agoSure, I'll email you. (And thanks for reminding me that I need to add my email to the site.)
